There’s a reason artists, writers, and seekers have been drawn here for decades.
San Miguel de Allende offers beauty, inspiration, and space — real space — to think.
This is where our first Salon in Mexico will unfold.

The fortress-like Monastery of Saint John the Theologian sits on the highest point of the island of Patmos. Founded in 1088 to protect what is known as the “Jerusalem of the Aegean” – it remains a Greek Orthodox place of worship, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A guided visit to the Monastery and the Cave of The Apocalypse are part of the GoodWorld Journeys experience.

Good World Journeys invites you to a ten-night Salon with three of the most compelling voices in contemporary music–Ani DiFranco, Anaïs Mitchell, and Neko Case—for an intimate experience of song, conversation, and creative exploration. Moderated by NPR music critic and author Ann Powers, this gathering offers a rare glimpse into the artistic journeys of these visionary singer-songwriters and storytellers, while providing participants with an opportunity to reflect, create, and connect in one of the most inspiring landscapes on earth.

What's a GoodWorld Journey?

More than a retreat, it’s a gathering of creative minds, anchored in conversation, stories, music, excursions, and shared meals—all rooted in the power of place and pace.

We believe wisdom emerges when we slow down. Each Salon program invites you to listen deeply, wander freely, and engage mindfully with inspired thinkers and inventive storytellers.

Journey days are spaciously scheduled with a balance of engaging creative conversations combined with restorative time to explore, connect, and reflect.

Morning craft talks and evening Salons explore how art and story shape our lives, led by accomplished writers, poets, and musicians in settings that invite rest and renewal.

✨ The next chapter begins summer 2026.

And in August, The Journey Is Your Story unfolds in San Miguel de Allende, with Hala Aylan, Ashley C. Ford, and Maggie Smith leading reflections on memory, narrative, and poetry.

We’re so grateful these remarkable voices are gathering — and can’t wait to welcome you into the conversation. 🌍✨
